Special Exhibit: Solar Schools Pavilion, Booth 125
Clean energy is possible for all Wisconsin schools. Improving building energy efficiency and planning for renewable energy will stabilize a district’s utility expenses and may have an excellent return on investment. Visit the Solar Schools Pavilion to meet community partners and providers who can help your district develop a roadmap to clean energy. Be sure your agenda includes Solar Schools Pavilion during dedicated exhibit hall times when school teams (installers, funders, district staff) will be available to share their school’s stories about going solar. It might be snowing outside, but we promise to make the sun shine here!
The Solar Schools Pavilion is coordinated by the Couillard Solar Foundation and partners
